Expanding grid systems to accommodate a diverse generation future
Energy sources are becoming more diverse and more geographically distributed. Thus, in the future energy generation will take place in many more locations, often driven by market mechanisms. Most of this energy will have to be transmitted and distributed to customers through existing and new electricity networks. To accommodate this increased diversity, significant expansion and reinforcement of our transmission grids will be necessary.
Such a future also means that energy flows at the transmission level, as well as in the distribution grids, will become more dynamic and more unpredictable. In order to accommodate these developments, the grids will be operated more efficiently using advanced monitoring and intelligent control systems—a development towards intelligent electricity networks.
At the same time, service reliability will become increasingly important. This will be an important driver both for the sound design and engineering of power delivery networks and also for the effective maintenance of those networks.
Innovative tools and techniques to enhance network flexibility
KEMA understands these developments and is actively participating in creating this future. We are already focusing on creating flexibility in networks, using innovative tools and techniques.
We also are involved in the creation of major new transmission systems, up to the highest transmission voltages, both overhead and underground. KEMA is guiding utilities to improve their performance and helping them to standardize for improved reliability and lower costs.
With over 80 years serving the energy and utility industry, KEMA offers clients the experience, expertise and passion needed to evaluate the technical effects of decisions regarding electricity transmission and distribution.

Fair and efficient (re)valuation of fixed assets of electrical infrastructures is of vital importance in different fields
The main economic principle for assessing the economic value of any assets is that their value to investors be equal to the net present value of the expected future cash flows generated by those assets.
Do large investments or implementing new technologies cause you a headache or make you feel uncomfortable?
A major challenge in “consumer to grid” distribution operations is how to process vast amounts of data quickly to assess grid conditions at any given moment.
